Figure 1: DiskFlo Design

Available in ANSI Classes 150 to 2500 and in sizes 2" to 30",

this MASCOT rotary valve is available in alloys, carbon steel
and 316 stainless steel. The high-performance DiskFlo rotary
control valve is used to achieve bi-directional bubble-tight
shutoff while maintaining low breakout torque at high and
low pressure drops. The high-performance DiskFlo rotary
control valve uses pressure assisted Jam-lever toggle seating
concepts. By utilizing the pressure drop across the valve to
aid the seating process, Jam-lever toggle seating assures low
breakout torque.
The need for strong actuator seating force is reduced since
much of the force is supplied by the pressure drop. To
achieve especially high-performance throttling, even in large
pressure drops close to the seat, it is combined with DiskFlo
high thrust cylinder actuator and eccentric cammed disc.

VALVE CENTERLINE
DISC CENTERLINE

DiskFlo Eccentric cammed disc:

To lift it out of the seat immediately upon actuation, a double
offset has been designed into the disc. This avoids wear on
the seat and disc, reducing leakage and parts replacement.
The throttling also improves as the friction is eliminated.

Features and Advantages
DiskFlo high performance is assured by the following features:
Features

Advantages

Jam-lever Toggle
soft seat

Bubble-tight shutoff equal to ANSI Class VI

Low breakout torque assures accurate throttling, even close to the seat
Non clogging seat design
Easy removal

Metal Seat
Eccentric-cammed disc

Shutoff better than ANSI Class IV

Disc pulls out of seat immediately, preventing seat wear
Accurate throttling due to disc profile when rotating into the seat

Single pivot-point, splined shaft

Lost motion minimized between shaft and actuator

Bolted seat retainer

Uninterrupted gasket surface allows for a wide variety of gasketing

Non-selective disc & shaft

Easier maintenance

Wafer body

Rugged and lightweight for easy handling and maintenance

One body serves ANSI Classes 150, 300 and 600 in sizes 2,3,4,6 & 8
Industry standard MSS SP-67 permits shorter flange bolting than ball
or cammed valves, increasing safety and reducing possibility of leakage

Flow capacity

Capacity greater than globe, plug and cammed control valves

Concave disc

Increased flow capacity

Disc stop in body

Prevents damage to seat due to overstroking

Permits in-line disc relocation during maintenance

Wide variety of packing

box configurations

High thrust for high-performance throttling

Compact and lightweight for easier servicing and maintenance
Fully interchangeable with ShearStream ball valve actuator
Actuator air pressures allowable up to 150 psi

Wide interchangeability

Spare parts stocking requirements minimized

Inventory costs reduced
Many G Series and VB Series parts are interchangeable with DiskFlo

Available in variety of materials

Carbon steel, 316 stainless steel and other alloys

Seat interchangeability

Metal or Teflon seats easily installed

Spool-type four-way positioner

Convertable between I/P and P/P

Calibration and maintenance easy due to fewer parts

The combined features designed into DiskFlo create a valve measurably superior to all other rotary valves.
The information and specifications contained in the following pages are provided for comparison.

DiskFlo
Seating

To help energize the soft seat to bubble-tight shutoff in either flow direction, including alternating flow applications, Jam-Lever
Toggle seating concepts utilize the pressure drop across the valve. Jam-lever Toggle soft seats achieve ANSI Class VI shutoff.

Toggle Effect (Figure 4)

Jam-lever Effect (Figure 3)

As pressure enters the seat cavity with the shaft
downstream, the seat jams or rotates into the
disc, causing it to seat tighter against the disc.

Disc

As pressure enters the seat cavity with the shaft

upstream, the seat tends to toggle or flatten out,
causing it to seat tighter against the disc.

Seats & LPRF (FL)
Metal Seat
For applications involving temperatures higher than
those permitted by the Jam-lever Toggle soft seat,
metal seats are used. A highly flexible lip, which
assures full circle contact between the seat and disc
when the valve is closed, is incorporated in the design.
The lip flexibility permits breakout torque for the metal
seat is the same or less than soft seat breakout torque.
ANSI class IV shutoff is achieved through DiskFlo metal
seats.

Liquid Pressure Recovery Factor (LPRF), F L

The liquid pressure recovery factor, F L , predicts the
amount of pressure recovery that will occur between
the vena contracta and the valve outlet. This accounts
for the influence of the valves internal geometry on
the maximum capacity of the valve and the tendency to
choke or cavitate. Smaller F L will cavitate earlier.
Figure 7 shows the F L of the DiskFlo valve as
compared to a typical butterfly valve. The DiskFlo FL is
between a typical butterfly and globe valve. The
tendency to cavitate or choke will be more than a
globe valve but less than the typical butterfly valve.

Dual Seat
DiskFlo dual seats incorporate both the Jam-lever
Toggle soft seat and the flexible lip metal seat for
added protection.
Flow Direction

.95

Jam-lever Toggle seating allows DiskFlo to flow either

shaft downstream or shaft upstream, depending on
service conditions. With the shaft downstream the flow
tends to open the valve. With the shaft upstream the
flow tends to close the valve.

Flow Characteristics

The inherent flow characteristic of the DiskFlo valve is

a modified parabolic. Other characteristics are
obtained by substituting an interchangeable cam in the
VP Series positioner, to furnish the desired output.
Cams are available to provide inherent linear and
equal percentage flow characteristics as well as a
linear relationship between signal and shaft rotation.
